Strawberry Fields Forever

"Strawberry Fields Forever" by The Beatles is originally in the key of B major. Released in 1967 as a double A-side single with "Penny Lane," the song was written by John Lennon and credited to the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership. The composition was inspired by Lennon's childhood memories of playing in the garden of Strawberry Field, a Salvation Army children's home near his childhood home in Liverpool, England. The innovative recording features psychedelic elements, including reversed tape effects and orchestral arrangements, showcasing The Beatles' experimentation with studio techniques. The song's dreamy melody, introspective lyrics, and intricate instrumentation make it one of the band's most iconic and influential tracks.
